Martha Wolfe, author of The Great Hound Match of 1905

Martha Wolfe, author of The Great Hound Match of 1905

“Mary Motley Kalergis has brought the wit and wisdom, the hard knocks and lucky breaks, the simple beauty, the heart and soul of contemporary foxhunting to the page. It’s like meeting a whole new crew of friends. Bring Foxhunters Speak to the fireside on a winter’s day, to bed with a cup of tea, to the beach this summer. It’s delightful.”

Norman Fine, Foxhunting Life

“There’s powerful foxhunting substance to be learned in these pages by even experienced hunt staff, not to mention the rest of us followers. What isn’t cerebral is simply superb entertainment, up-close-and-personal with many of the sport’s larger-than-life characters. Mary is a pro at getting them to open up!”

“Foxhunters Speak” is truly unique, a must read for foxhunters who are not only are interested in learning about the sport, but some tightly held secrets seldom shared. The added bonus are the interesting insights on the personalities of some of the very best in the sport. Even you experts will be surprised, I couldn’t put it down. Mary Motley Kalergis is an extremely gifted interviewer who got some the toughest of foxhunters to open up and share their love and knowledge of the sport.”
